READ THE CAPTION ⏬
1. Wear SPF every single day, even indoors.
Apply sunscreen every morning, even if you’re working indoors or it’s cloudy outside. UV exposure quietly breaks down collagen every single day, and while Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, it can’t protect your skin from sun damage.
2. Stay consistent with a retinoid, and stop over-exfoliating around it.
A retinoid helps improve your skin over time, so when Botox softens your lines, your skin looks smoother too. But layering it with strong acids and scrubs does the opposite. A healthy skin barrier will always give you better-looking results.
3. Keep your skin properly hydrated.
Use a good moisturizer every day, include hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in your routine, and don’t forget to drink enough water. Well-hydrated skin naturally looks smoother, while dehydrated skin makes fine lines stand out much more.
4. Sleep on your back or on a silk pillowcase.
If sleeping on your back isn’t realistic, a silk pillowcase is a great alternative. It reduces friction and puts less pressure on your skin while you sleep. Those repeated sleep creases add up over time, and Botox can’t prevent wrinkles caused by pressure.
5. Stay consistent with your Botox appointments.
Try not to wait until your Botox has completely worn off before coming back. Keeping up with your treatments helps prevent your muscles from returning to full strength each time, which often means smoother, longer-lasting results over time.
Your Botox is only part of the equation. The way you care for your skin every day plays a huge role in how good your results look over time.
Save this to make your next Botox appointment last longer.
